What Can Fit in a 5x15 Storage Unit?

5x15 storage units can typically hold the furnishings of a single bedroom or small, one-bedroom apartment or condo. They can also be ideal for long, oversized items like kayaks and motorcycles. Here are some examples of items that can fit into 75 square feet of self storage:

  • Furniture: king-sized mattress and box spring, sofa, bed frame and headboard, dressers, nightstands, floor lamps, entertainment centers, coffee tables

  • Moving Boxes: several small to medium boxes, totes, or bins (up to 75 if not storing furniture)

  • Appliances: refrigerator, microwave, or washer and dryer

  • Long & Oversized Items: kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, snowboards and skis, mattresses laid flat, and exercise equipment

  • Vehicles: motorcycles or lawn equipment

  • Business: small amount of inventory, standard-sized equipment, & file boxes

What Does Not Fit In A 5x15 Storage Unit?

A 5x15 cannot accommodate items larger than 5 feet wide or 15 feet long. Standard storage units with 8-foot ceilings may also cause limitations. If you're storing the contents of more than one bedroom, you may want to rent a larger unit. Some items that may not fit in a 5x15 storage unit include:

  • Vehicles: standard cars, large vehicles like SUVs, trucks, vans, and full-sized pickup trucks, larger boats or yachts, golf carts, or riding lawn mowers

  • Oversized Furniture: full-sized sectional sofas, grand or baby grand pianos, multiple full bedroom sets, commercial shelving units, or industrial racking

  • Large Recreation Equipment: pool tables, ping-pong tables, swing sets, & playground sets

  • Ceiling Height Limitations: items that exceed standard 8-foot ceiling height, like taller vehicles or equipment (10-foot ceilings available at select locations)

    How Many Boxes Fit in a 5x15 Storage Unit?

    With 600 cubic feet of storage space, a 5x15 storage unit can typically fit up to 75 standard moving boxes. Choose sturdy, uniform boxes so you can maximize space and safely stack lighter boxes on top of heavier ones. Keep in mind that if you are storing other items in addition to boxes, this will reduce the total number of boxes that will be able to fit.

    How Do You Pack a 5x15 Storage Unit?

    To efficiently pack and organize a 5x15 storage unit, take advantage of our 8-foot tall ceilings and store your items vertically. Stack heavier boxes at the bottom and lighter ones above for additional support. Shelving units can increase your box capacity and allow for more convenient access to frequently used items. Disassemble furniture when you can and place large and least-used items in the back and along the sides of the unit. For easy and safe access, create a clear aisle from front to back.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can a 5x15 storage unit fit a 1-bedroom apartment?

    The contents of a 1-bedroom apartment can fit in a 5x15 storage unit for smaller or partial loads, as they are comparable in size to a large walk-in closet. For larger loads, a 10x10 storage unit may be the ideal solution, as it can better fit multiple large furniture items.

    Can a car fit in a 5x15 storage unit?

    A standard car will not fit in a 5x15 storage unit. An average car is 6 feet wide, and this measurement often doesn't include side mirrors. We recommend 10x15, 10x20, or 10x30 units for comfortable indoor vehicle storage, especially when accounting for door clearance when entering or exiting the vehicle.

    How big of a moving truck do I need for a 5x15 storage unit?

    A 5x15 storage unit may require a moving truck anywhere between 12 and 22 feet, depending on the amount of belongings you have. Use our Moving Truck Size Calculator for further guidance.
